Due to increases in gasoline, equipment conversions climbed 51.6 percent over the previous year totaling 141.692 units switched to CNG.

Even, the interannual evolution index is the best of the last ten years, surpassing what happened in 2010, when the transformations reached 50 percent compared to 2009.
